Se, count me out on the spring swap. I have too much on my plate and not enough time to finish it all.

As it is I may have to get a second job to cover my doctor bills, DD1's doctor bills, and DD2's braces!!!

Not to mention chicken feed for hens that haven't started laying again even though they look fully receovered from their molt.
And pullets that seem to have no interest in laying at all

Gapple that is exciting to hear about yer roos. well ladies I have heard from my last person and I will start the boxes out on their way this friday so sometime next week or so you should be having squares arrive at your doors.

Again any that were in the fall swap that missed the deadline please understand that we did try to pm and email mail you several times, you still have a 2 days to get them in the mail and pm or email me to let me know they are on their way, Otherwise please hold on to them and you can use them for the spring swap as I know this time of the year proves to be quite busy for us even when we don't think it will be. Again thank you to everybody who participated in the fall swap and made it so much fun.

well ladies I made hats last night for me and the girls, well for me and one of the girls as the first attempt on the kids size was too small for either of them, found out today my 3 yr old has a huge funky shaped head. LOL poor girl I am now on my 3rd attempt to make her a hat to fit her head.

well I am working on those pics still but I think I have just about got them all uploaded to my cell phone album and now have to download and upload to my photobucket so here in the next day or 2 I hope to have them up. well I must be off to get some stuff done I hope to hear from you all soon. Oh ps I like all colors, and love all things chicken. and enjoy smelly stuff(candles, potpori, etc...) just about anything you can think of. well must go run the pipsqueak out of the dryer to I will post ya'll later.

now here is our holiday pumpkin chicken.

haley made her for the 4-H pumpkin decorating contest, in which you could not cut or puncture the skin of the pumpkin in any manner, but you could paint, glue, tape, etc.... so spary glue and molteing chickens came in handy. add a little craft paint, and paper shredds and a box nest and wola you have a broody pumkhen!!!!

and here is my little house fairy that helps me around the farm, she crochets, and does laundry, and dishes, cleans house, but no windows or floors as she is so small. LOL!

!!!

Well thats it for now until tomorrow when I have better light and can get some pics of the hats I just finished. well later gaters Maw.

I would love to join, but can't guarantee anything right now. I've had a job change and am manager of Hot Stuff, and the store at a local gas station. I get up by 5 am and am off to work until 3 pm or later. Don't feel like doing much after I get home from work. Let me think on it and if I get inspired I'll let you know. I had fun with it last spring, so let me think on it. Darlene let me know before the closing. I don't get online much anymore. Am shot when I get home.

SE, you make me feel really lazzzzzy! I missed your last post last night and now you've posted before I've even thought of getting out of bed! Does it matter if our swap squares are different yarns as long as they are the same size? I may even try some squares with a few colors today. Finally venturing outside the box! Have a great day all!

Morning all!!

I'm up much earlier than usual. Our autistic son decided to go to bed at 5pm yesterday, and of course, was up before the sun this am.

He used to not have any sleeping issues....we were so lucky....but in the last 2 months

I'm going to be glued to the puter today, as I am working on stocking our new store (see my siggy). It's been in the works for a few months, just waiting to get moved and settled before opening it. Good thing is I'm stuck on the puter for days at a time stocking, bad thing is no time to hook or sew.... Oh well, it'll pay off in the long run.
